I think it was right of Mrs. Nice to let this comment slide and not embarrass Kelly in front of other adults.<br />PS. My eldest son has academic and behavioral issues and also has an IEP.

In the template I have I'm using the "normal" text size because I thought the "large" was too big. I'll work on it :) I should change out my template, it's been too long.

MM is right on; the parent was a single parent who had more than one child with disabilities and inadequate parenting skills; the current plan just wasn't working. <br /><br />I don't know for sure, but I'd bet money that Mrs. Nice also confronted the student, privately, once she had recovered.
